SSPX Los Gatos Boys' Camp

Camp St. Francis, Aptos, CA

Catholic summer camp for boys in Los Gatos, focusing on spiritual formation, outdoor activities, and traditional values.

▌ Editor's read The Los Gatos Boys' Camp is operated by the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), a traditionalist Catholic group (sspx.org/en/summer-camps). The camp is designed for boys aged 8-15 and focuses on spiritual development through daily Mass, rosary, and catechism, alongside traditional camp activities such as sports, hiking, and crafts (sspx.org/en/summer-camps). There is no mention of ACA accreditation on the website, nor any specific state or provincial licensing information. The website does not provide details regarding staff-to-camper ratios or explicit language about background checks for staff. The camp's affiliation with the SSPX, which is not in full communion with the Vatican, may be a significant consideration for prospective families.
